Two king bedrooms on the second floor open onto the expansive, covered deck with sound view and stairs to the pool area. An additional queen bedroom and a bonus room with two bunk sets and TV open onto the covered front deck. Catch up on your work from home or distance learning assignments in the den with dual built-in desks, TV, and a full bath, but be sure to take plenty of breaks out on the shaded sound view deck. The laundry room with a utility sink and ample counter space for folding is also on this level.

The kitchen, complete with breakfast bar and pantry, boasts both gas and electric stoves as well as a wine hutch for all your celebratory needs. Step onto the vast sundeck with stairs to the lower levels for a moonlit soak in the hot tub or to simply soak up the sun while watching the birds and kiteboarders ride the wind over the water. An additional covered deck on the front of the house is perfect for some quiet time in the summer breeze. Ocean-to-sound views abound in the large loft overlooking the living room, with refrigerator, TV, and sleeper sofa. An additional level where early risers can catch the sunrise in the distance.
If the inside of this home is grand, the outside is simply out of this world. With deck space large enough for your entire family to spread out and enjoy themselves, you can breathe easy in the refreshing coastal air.
The sunlit outdoor fenced pool deck features comfortable seating for the entire family, a shaded dining area with gas grill and granite prep counter. Two outdoor showers with an additional enclosed toilet.
For the wellness-minded, the pool house features an additional indoor, custom-tiled pool. Step into the fully outfitted private gym for a sound-view workout session on cardio or weight equipment. Complete with wet bar and commercial ice machine, a mirrored wall to monitor your form, and a non-slip professional gym floor for your safety, this stunning private fitness studio also includes an additional toilet and granite-tiled shower to rinse off after your routine.
Stroll down the long, private dock to the sound front, where two shallow slips await your watercraft. Kite, kayak, or paddleboard to the nearby Salvo Day Use Area or take your skiff out on a fishing or clamming expedition in the calm, shallow waters of the Pamlico Sound. For an additional adventure, visit Gull Island only 15 miles away across the sound from the dock and is easily accessible by boat for a wonderful lapping water kid friendly secluded beach day. Ample seating at the end of the dock is the perfect place to relax in the gentle breeze off the water and watch the wildlife. A built-in fish cleaning table with water supply midway down the dock will have your catch ready to throw on the grill in no time at all.
Treat yourself to a worry-free stay at Whalebone, the epitome of self-care. With everything you need, all you could want, and more than you have ever dreamed possible, this select home is a vacation destination all its own.
Note: Gull Island is a public island accessible ONLY by boat. It is located southwest of the private dock, about 15 miles.
Boat ramps are located north of Rodanthe at New Inlet on Pea Island, and at the Oregon Inlet - all of which are public access areas.
